so I'm looking to get a hooded jacket/parka, mostly for san francisco rain/biking/fog, so water and windproof is definitely needed. trying to stay under 1000 (otherwise i'd get a moncler dijon and walk around in wool and down bliss). I'd love to have the navy Mt Rainier Design Inyo Down Parka, but have pretty much given up hope on finding one. Ditto for the Waste(twice) collabo. Have tried velour, uniforms for the dedicated, acne...none quite worked (im small, hence the japanese fetish). I've looked at the Fjallraven Greenland parka and Penfield Hoosac, which are rather nice, but definitely very hip brands (and I'm not particularly hip). Currently I'm eying the Monitaly Duck Parka here:

as well as the Gant Rugger Hiker:

I'm very much for the philosophy of Yuketen/Monitaly, just not sure if the jacket is a) warm enough or b) fits well, as I can't find it anywhere except online.
Can't really do the tan/khaki/fatigue look, generally prefer black/gray/navy etc, but I don't mind a brightly colored one if its the right one.
Anyhow, any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
